[quote=Anonymous]Prepare yourself for the fact your dad will likely want to remain with mom and you may become the family villain. I have seen this play out over generations in my family and in friend's stories. The caregiver spouse becomes downright abusive and doesn't want the one receiving care to go to a facility. Change is scary and often the one being abused is so afraid of the unknown that they chose to remain with spouse. This played out in my family with verbal abuse even doctors noticed and it played out in my friend's family with outright physical abuse. The mom, who was abusive to her children as well, would fly into a rage and beat the father who was ill. [/quote]
